General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

How is it that when we wanted to extend the front of our house, the council had us jumping through hoops and everything had to match the exsisting fabric of the building, ie Stone, that took some considerable sourcing, and the employment of a builder with experience using stone at elevated expense. I look at these buildings that look like a UFO has landed in the middle of Wigan. Is it one rule for one and another for when it suits ? It looks like a bloody warehouse.
